The car just shuts off while running without warning while driving no dash warning at all
While driving my car during a stoplight it suddenly stalled and died. my gear was still in drive. i tried to restart my car but it wasnt able to start it jus kept making a clicking sound like it was trying to start but couldnt and last for 30 secs. i wasnt able to put the gear into neutral. so in was stalled ok the road. after trying to attempt to restart the engine light went on. i am very frustrated because i just got my car back from the dealership after them replacing my water pump and thermostat twice 1 year apart. now it's back at the shop and i have to pay 140 to have them diagnose it after spending 1200. i checked my warranty and service contract and they all expired.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chrysler 300. while driving various speeds, the vehicle's thermostat ran hot. while accelerating, the thermostat would reset to normal. the contact also stated that while accelerating at 55 mph, the vehicle shut off and the electronic throttle control (etc) warning indicator illuminated. the contact had to wait thirty minutes before the vehicle was able to be restarted and resume normal driving. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the thermostat was replaced, but no error codes could be found regarding the etc. despite the thermostat replacement, the failures persisted. the manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failures. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 132,000.
While driving at highway speed (70mph), the oil pressure suddenly dropped from a normal 55+psi to about 15psi and the engine started to vibrate bad and run eradically. slowing down and stopping, it felt like it was going to stall making it much, much harder to steer the vehicle and slow down due to the lack of vacuum created by the engine to assist with the power brakes and rpm's needed to provide power steering assist. oil pressure dropped to about 5psi at idle. no knocking sound from the lower end of the engine, just valvetrain tapping/ticking. this vehicle needs towed. this is a low mileage vehicle-well under 100k miles and documented care. there are many, many hemi equipped vehicles on the road and at dealerships that have these related timing chains breaking / timing chain tensioners breaking and failing, camshaft and lifters grinding themselves away but, very few are reported as either tsb's or recalls. this is potentially a very deadly and dangerous issue and should not be taken lightly!!! extremely dangerous!!!
Chrysler 300 2012 went into saver mode couple minutes later alternator smoked then catches on mild fire.
5.7 hemi defective lifter. the 2012 5.7 hemis used defective lifters, hundreds of complaints about the lifters failing can be found on dodge forums across the internet. what happens, is the roller on the lifter that rolls along the camshaft is prone to locking up, it then grinds into the camshaft. this can lead to misfires and cause metal flakes to circulate through the engine via oil. if left unchecked, it may also lead to a total engine failure. i have seen complaints of this on all chrysler products that have a 5.7l, durango, charger, challenger, ram, and jeep and from my research, i see the bulk of these failures happening between 80000 and 120000 miles, lifters should not be failing that soon. in my case, at approximately 160000 miles, mainly highway miles, my check engine light illuminated, i scanned the vehicle, it was throwing a cylinder 5 misfire code, so i started small. first i replaced the spark plugs, i then tried swapping ignition coils to see if the code would follow the ignition coil, it did not. i then tested my fuel system, the pump, the fuel rails, and the injectors, all were working ...
